May267:18 am

OMAHA (AP)- Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman says he will not run for U.S. Senate, making the race to replace Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns wide open. Heineman made the announcement Saturday - more than three months after Johanns announced he would not seek a second term in 2014. GOP attention immediately turned to Heineman, a popular governor who is restricted by term limits from seeking re-election. Heineman had recently said he would announce his decision before the end of May.
